Mmmm, garlic bread

I was torturing friends on irc with the garlic bread I just made. Then I realized, hey, why not torture people on my journal, too!?

Garlic bread

The recipe (although I didn't measure so this is only approximate):

• 1/2 cube butter, warmed and softened
• 2 large cloves garlic, crushed
• about 1 tsp dried oregano
• about 1 tsp dried thyme
• about 1 tsp dried basil
• about 1/2 tsp paprika
• about 1/2 tsp black pepper, fresh ground
• a few drops hot chili oil
• Sourdough bread

Pre-heat oven to 400° F. Mix the butter and spices together until well blended. Spread butter mix on thick-cut slices of bread, as heavy as you like (more tastes better, but obviously will be higher fat). Place bread on a cookie sheet or tin foil for softer bread, or a rack for crisper bread. Bake at 400° F for about 8 minutes, check in frequently and pull the bread once it's bubbling and/or golden brown. Broil for 30-60 seconds to get a crispy top layer, but be vigilant not to burn the bread!

Ready to serve after cooling off for a minute or so. Easily multiplied for larger quantities. The photo above was taken having used about 1/8 of the mixture per slice.
